I liked Sulu, was the corner of the mouth his laugh line, or a go at the scar from Mirror Sulu? It worked. Kirk, Scotty, Uhura and Chekov were all spot on in personality and look. Agree about "Animal from the Muppets Klingon" which so fits. The Romulan has a great "Pixar heavy" look, while still looking close to Spock. Spock and the Romulan both look like they could walk into "Up" and fit right in the way they are rendered. Good job all around.

I love these, there is a great sense of fun here. That said, some of them are not quite on, IMHO. Shatner/Kirk's face was round, not tall and angular. Takei/Sulu, just the opposite - his face was square, yet you have it round as a beach ball.

You totally nailed both Scotty and Bones, though! Such attitude! And the aliens are all heaps of fun.

The love you have for these characters truly shines through here. Nicely done.

I like it! :) I have to say, though, you went a touch overboard on some of the noses; where Kirk, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura look like the style of "The Incredibles", the noses on Scotty and Spock are a bit big for that same style. And McCoy... well, I'll be honest, using that jaw style with that nose makes him look a bit like a chimpanzee.

For the other characters, the Cherons are great! Your Romulan has a bit too much of Anton Ego in him, mind, and the Klingon is a bit angular for the way they were handled on TOS. And the Andorian's smile... not so much. But the others look great!

Incredible work, especially given the colour blindness issue! The colours are all pretty well spot on.

I would retouch Sulu at some point - he has greenish-yellow skin with reddish-pink shadows on his cheek dimple and mouth corner (so the shadow and mid colours do not match at all). The skin's not badly out, given it's a cartoon, but the pink shaded dimples makes it look like the file has data corruption or something else that has gone badly wrong.

Spock's a little too vampire grey in skin colour, but within the realm of reason for the medium.

Commenting a bit late, here, but I was delighted with most of the Pixaresque characterizations for the ST:TOS folk. Agree that your Sulu's a bit chubby, and Kirk may be closer to Chris Pine than Bill Shatner. Also, given color blindness (I have a friend who has the same problem and does wonderful--and colorful--artwork), most worked (I assume you were able to test RGB color values in PhotoShop from originals in many cases). The one character I thought was off was the Andorian; they were closer to a baby blue than a violet.
